Chapter 98
Chu Yu invited the little girl out for a walk and brainwashing, of course, it was not unprepared. On the contrary, when good tea and good meals, Chu Yu prepared everything......
The refreshments were brought to the servants in advance and put them in the house, but the lunch was made by Chu Yu himself.
Chu Yu used a fish cage to woven a woven fish cage to catch the fish from the stream, and even opened the flying scales of the little fish neatly. Zhao Changqing always felt that martial arts was a symbol of power and power. For the first time, she saw anyone using a knife to show these many beauty.
Chu Yu only brought a gray sheathed dagger. His hands were moving quickly, and he could only see the shadow clearly. The fish scales flew down like silver pieces to the green grass along the bank. Zhao Changqing was simply amazed and couldn't help asking, "Brother Chu, do you even handle fish?" Didn't he be a noble son?
Chu Yu smiled, "I went out with my master for two years when I was a child, and this is nothing."
"Can you still have to cook by yourself when traveling? Isn't it like the heroes in the play, and draw their swords to help you when you see unevenness?"
Chu Yu laughed, "Don't be stupid when listening to the opera, it's all about books to deceive people. It's okay to have an inn outside, it's just a waste of money. When I meet a land area where there is no village or shop in front of me, how can I be picky? I can't take the servant to serve by my side."
"Why can't you take it? Aning went out to study and wanted to buy a servant and ask him to take it with him, otherwise how could the family feel at ease?"
"My master doesn't like the number of people." Chu Yu said.
"What a weird guy." Zhao Changqing scratched his chin with his fingers and asked, "Brother Chu, your master must be good at martial arts, right?"
"How do you say that?"
Zhao Changqing rolled his skirt and squatted beside Chu Yu, smiling, "If you are an ordinary person, you will be a tutor, and you will have to follow the instructions of the master. If you are an ordinary person, even if the master does not give instructions, there is no reason to take the young master of the master out without taking the servant. This is a risky matter."
Chu Yu smiled and looked up at Zhao Changqing, "Inquiry about what my master's martial arts do? Could it be that he wants to find a master for Aning?"
Chu Yu has always been a god guess. Zhao Changqing told him the central idea, but he didn't realize it. Instead, he asked with a smile, "How did you guess it?"
Chu Yu picked up a bucket of water and washed the fish, saying, "Aning is ordinary in school, but she likes to use martial arts knives and sticks on weekdays. If she wants to make a name for herself in the future, it is difficult for her to be a martial arts master. If she wants to make a name for herself, it is possible. Uncle Zhao is now a hundred households. In the past, her family was ordinary and she could spend money to teach you Master Yan, so she would naturally pay more attention to her eldest son's future. She has been practicing martial arts, and the younger she is, the better. I started laying the foundation at the age of four. Aning is already six years old, and it is getting late."
Zhao Changqing said, "I'm not only my father, but I think so too. My family is a military householder, and Aning is the eldest son. When he grows up, he will definitely work in the garrison. Although martial arts are not as good as literary scholars, it is suitable for my family. But is it so early to practice martial arts? It's not too late to go to the age of seven or eight?"
"It depends on what you think. If ordinary people want to practice high-quality martial arts, they will naturally be earlier. The body will be a little hard at the age of seven or eight. If they delay until they are in their teens and practice martial arts, unless they are extremely talented, they can only reach the average level at most." Chu Yu sat the purple clay pot on the small stove that had just been boiled and asked with a smile, "How is it? Do you want me to ask Master to give Aning a guide?"
Zhao Changqing hesitated a little, "Of course I have a thousand willingness, but is Brother Chu's master willing?" Can such a guy who doesn't even buy the general's mansion be willing to teach his younger brother a little baby?
Chu Yu smiled, "I can't guarantee whether he is willing to accept disciples or not, but if I speak, it's okay to give Aning a tip."
Zhao Changqing was so curious that he asked, "Brother Chu, how did you worship the teacher?" If she had any tricks, she would give her advice to her younger brother when she went back.
Chu Yu used spring water to cook fish soup and smiled, "My father was not at that time. At that time, I went out for a trip with A Yue and met his master. He saw that I was rare and he stole me. Later, my father led his troops to catch up with him. He couldn't defeat ten thousand people with both hands, so he had to let me go. Later, he stole a few more times, but he couldn't steal me away. I was the only son in the family, and my parents couldn't bear to take me away even if I died. My father mediated in the middle and he had to stay at my house to teach me martial arts."
Zhao Changqing was straight and happy, "There is still such a thing?"
"The people he is used to running outside are not restrained and are not in the border town now. However, we meet every year. When he comes, I will mention it to him." Chu Yu said.
Zhao Changqing laughed, "Okay."
Chu Yu said, "There are mushrooms in the house, you can get them."
Zhao Changqing took out the mushrooms and said, "I see there is shepherd's purse there. I'll pick some, it's delicious in the soup."
Just ask it to cook slowly. Chu Yu and Zhao Changqing each lie on a bench under the shade of flowers and talk, "The apricot blossoms in this apricot forest are going to pick apricot blossom wine every year. I originally wanted to ask you to taste it. Now you don't eat wine outside, and I will take you two jars to eat slowly later." He is not a frivolous person, although it is easy to fool Zhao Changqing out of wine. Due to his identity, the Zhao family will not be dissatisfied with him. However, since he is considerate of Zhao Changqing, he will not make things difficult for Zhao Changqing.
"How do apricot blossoms make wine? The rose dew and pear blossom white you sent me last time are both delicious." Zhao Changqing has always been in love with wine, saying, "But I think wineries mostly use grain to make wine, or use fruit to make wine?"
Chu Yu smiled, "This is different. Some are mixed with petals and fermented in the steamed sour rice mash cheese. Some are picked directly and soaked in the wine for a while. The first one is slower, and the latter one is faster."
"What kind of apricot blossom wine is?"
"Of course it's the first type, and I'm not in a hurry to drink it." Chu Yu smiled, "This large piece of apricot blossoms is really a lot. Apart from the ones used for brewing wine, they are made incense for A Yue."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "I wonder if Sister Chu always has a faint apricot fragrance on her body."
Chu Yu asked, "What incense do you use?"
"Rose fragrance."
Chu Yuzhi stood up and sniffed it, "The fragrance is fragrance, but it is not the fragrance of roses."
Zhao Changqing waved his sleeves at Chu Yu. Chu Yu suddenly felt a scent of roses and asked with a smile, "What's going on?"
Zhao Changqing took out a small sachet embroidered with roses from his sleeve, and the fragrance of flowers in the sachet was faintly lit. Chu Yu smiled, "Show me."
The two of them were talking, and when the fish fragrance came, Zhao Changqing was already hungry.
Chu Yu asked her, "Whether to eat outside or to eat inside the house."
"It's not hot outside, so let's eat under the shade of flowers."
Chu Yu went into the wooden house and brought out a table of various cover bowls with lids. Zhao Changqing opened them one by one, and saw that they were all prepared meat and vegetables, and couldn't help but smile.
Chu Yu moved the soup pot and a small stove from the ground to the table, and smiled, "It's not hot now, the fish soup has been cooked. Let's eat the soup pot with the good soup base." He warmed a pot of wine himself, and Zhao Changqing couldn't help but drink two cups, not drinking too much.
Chu Yu was very good at taking care of people. After lunch, he just put the things into the house and did not need Zhao Changqing to clean up.
After all, she is not a real child. Zhao Changqing often likes quietness but not movement. She eats and drinks well. She is so comfortable in the bench. The mountain wind brings the fragrance of plants and trees, and the chirping of birds and insects sings in her ears... Zhao Changqing didn't know when she fell asleep. She was awakened by a flute sound. When she opened her eyes, Chu Yu was standing by the lake to play the flute. The flute sound was full of joy, and it was extremely cheerful and high.
Chu Yu turned around after blowing a twist and said with a smile, "Awaken?"
The sun was no longer as strong as noon. Zhao Changqing lifted the quilt and stood up, laughing and praised, "Brother Chu not only plays the piano well, but also plays the flute well. But why did Brother Chu not blow the apricot blossoms and the sky, but then blow up the Zhu Qingyun. Could it be that Brother Chu is going to the imperial examination this year?"
Chu Yu smiled and stepped forward, shaking the jade flute in his hand, "I'm not an imperial examination, but this flute is the most suitable one."
Zhao Changqing took the flute in Chu Yu's hand and saw that it was carved from purple jade, and it was not necessary to say that it is valuable. However, purple jade is not a unique product, and can be bought as long as you have money. The value of this flute is not in its material, but in a line of crooked and delicate characters on the front, with a letter: Given to Xichun. There is also a signature: Zhan.
Zhao Changqing exclaimed, "Is it the jade flute of Dafeng to Lord Xichun?" She is also a person who is familiar with history books and is proficient in music. Not to mention anything else, a song Zhu Qingyun played by Chu Yu just now is a famous flute song. According to legend, when Lord Xichun wrote Zhu Qingyun for the first time, because the flute song was high, it was really half of it. Therefore, Zhu Qingyun only made half of it and was put on hold. Later, Lord Xichun got the green eyes of Emperor Fengwu. Emperor Fengwu heard this elegant thing and personally engraved the words on the jade flute and gave the purple jade flute to Lord Xichun. Lord Xichun wrote Zhu Qingyun in full and has been passed down to this day. This is something recorded in official history and is absolutely impossible to do. Emperor Fengwu was named Feng Mingzhan, and there is a word "Zhan" in his name.
Zhao Changqing looked at the small words on the flute carefully, and hesitated, and asked again, "Is it really the jade flute given by Emperor Fengwu to Lord Xichun?"
Chu Yu smiled but didn't say anything. Zhao Changqing tried the Guanyu flute. Sure enough, the sound of the flute was clearer and far better than that of ordinary people. Zhao Changqing said, "Whether it is or not, it is a rare and good flute." As she said that, she blew a song of the apricot blossom sky shadow.
When Zhao Changqing blew a song, Chu Yu saw that it was getting late, so he asked Zhao Changqing to go home. Zhao Changqing said, "This spring water is very delicious, and it is very rare to make tea. I thought of bringing a jar of spring water back and making tea for my husband. The husband likes to drink tea very much."
Chu Yu smiled, "I'm still thinking about others when I drink a little tea. Forget it, I'll ask the guard to put two jars and send them to your house together."
"Then thank you Brother Chu." Zhao Changqing returned the flute to him, Chu Yu took it and asked with a smile, "Why did you say just now that jade flute isn't it?"
Zhao Changqing smiled, "The words engraved on it are really not very good? I read the historical books that Emperor Fengwu said was like a god. The words on the jade flute are not as good as mine. How could it be Emperor Fengwu's? However, the flute is really a good flute."
"The historical books regard Emperor Fengwu's words as gods, because he is a good emperor. The literati regard him as a god, so naturally he refuses to say bad things about him. However, Emperor Fengwu's words are ugly and are really true. Do you know? An interesting story has been recorded in the unofficial history, saying that Emperor Fengwu visited Du Ruoguo and accompanied by Lord Du Ruo to write an inscription. Lord Du Ruo refused to accept it. Emperor Fengwu was extremely displeased and asked Lord Du Ruo, "The Lord is Aware of the Lord."
Is my words worthy of the mountains and rivers here?’ Lord Du Ruo replied, ‘It’s the mountains and rivers of our Du Ruo Kingdom that are not worthy of the words Your Majesty.’ It is because Emperor Fengwu’s calligraphy is too ugly. Lord Du Ruo is afraid that Emperor Fengwu’s ugly words will ruin the surrounding mountains and rivers.” Chu Yu’s words were interesting, and Zhao Changqing laughed, “I don’t believe it. You don’t arrange Emperor Fengwu. Even Emperor Dongmu □□ said, ‘For the emperor, be like Emperor Fengwu’.”
"I arranged it, it was clearly stated in the book." Chu Yu smiled, "So, if the words engraved on the flute are rare and good words, it must be fake. If the words on the top are crooked, it may be true. Whether it is true or not, as you said, this is an excellent flute. If you like it, it would be better. This is the birthday gift I gave you in advance." As he said that, he put a jade flute back into Zhao Changqing's hand.
Zhao Changqing is not enthusiastic about playing the piano. She is a person who likes to play the flute. She just used this flute to play the song and knew that it was an excellent flute. She liked it in her heart, but felt it was too expensive. She looked at Chu Yu for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Chu Yu seemed to see what Zhao Changqing was thinking and laughed, "Don't be polite to me. I see that you grew up and say that you are a sister is not fake. You know that this is a good flute and will definitely cherish it in the future. This is not to let this flute down."
"Brother Chu plays the flute very well, too."
"I like playing the piano more. I got a good piano a few days ago. If you have time, you can come to my house and you will also open your eyes."
Zhao Changqing asked with a smile, "What kind of piano? Is it the remnant sound of the Great Sage?"
"The Great Sage Yiyin dare not think about it, but it is also a great piano." Chu Yu kept it in hiding.
Zhao Changqing guessed the famous guqin in history, but he didn't guess correctly, so he stopped guessing it and only held the flute that Chu Yu gave her, and he loved it very much.
It was already evening when Zhao Changqing arrived home. Chu Yu gave him two jars of apricot blossom wine, four jars of new tea, and two jars of spring water from the apricot blossom spring that Zhao Changqing wanted. These things were enough for Lai Fu to move slowly. Yongfu went to help. Zhao Changqing ordered Yongfu to send the spring water directly to Mr. Su's yard. He had met the old lady and Ling, and told him about the things that Youshan and Chu Yu gave her today.
Ling laughed, "Young Master Chu is really polite." Because Chu Yu often gave Zhao Changqing something, Ling was no longer as panic as before.
Zhao Changqing smiled, "I also brought two jars of spring water to Mr.
Ling laughed as soon as he heard this and said, "Split the apricot blossom white into two small jars to send to Mr. Su, where can I deliver water?"
Zhao Changqing smiled, "It was the spring water on the mountain that made tea taste good today. I thought that the gentleman loved to cook tea, so he brought her the spring water."
Old Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "Water and wine are also given. Even if you get new tea, don't forget to give Mr. Su a can."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "It's exactly four cans, the old lady's can, and the mother's can. I used to be young and didn't drink tea. Now I'm old, I might as well keep one can myself, and there's one can for Mr. Su."
Ling smiled, "It's very appropriate."
Zhao Changqing also said that Chu Yu gave her a flute. Ling's family had a limited background and had never seen anything very good. She just took a look and said, "It looks very precious."
Mrs. Zhao was born in a good family, but when she was young, she didn't have time to broaden her horizons. Besides, her eyes were not very good. She smiled and said, "You have always liked to play the flute. The Chu family is rich and noble. What Mr. Chu gave you is not an ordinary thing, and you need to use it carefully."
Zhao Changqing responded with a smile and said, "I changed my clothes and went to see Mr. Su."
Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law agreed.
Zhao Changqing changed into homely clothes and asked Yongfu to hold the tea leaves. Zhao Changqing took the flute himself, and went to Mr. Su's place with one master and one servant. She did not go into the house directly, but instead stood outside the window, playing the flute with the setting sun and the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard until the song was blown away. Mr. Su smiled through the window, "What a weird thing, why don't you come in?"
Zhao Changqing's eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy, and said, "It's not a problem. Today I got this excellent flute, so I specially blew it to the sir." He presented the flute with both hands.
Mr. Su answered. Su Bai and Zhao Changning were doing their homework in the compartment. When they heard the sound, they came to see it. Zhao Changning couldn't help but touch it and asked curiously, "Sister, is this made of jade?"
"Yes." Zhao Changqing laughed, "This flute sound is so good."
Mr. Su was obviously better at knowing things than Zhao Changqing. After carefully reading the small characters on the flute, he sighed, "It is the purple jade flute that has been passed down for thousands of years!" He asked Zhao Changqing, "Where did you get it?"
"Brother Chu gave it to me, and he doesn't know if it's the authentic one, but the sound of the flute is really good, it's really a top-notch flute." Zhao Changqing smiled, "Sir, is it still Lord Xichun's authentic one?"
Mr. Su laughed, "I can't tell if it's true. I just heard you play the flute, and it was indeed a good flute."
"Yes." Zhao Changqing smiled and pointed at the words on the flute, "Brother Chu said that Emperor Fengwu's words are actually ugly, and the ugly the words are, the more likely they are to be true."
Mr. Su smiled, "This is true."
Zhao Changqing had a sharp-eyed eyes, "Is that true? I thought it was Brother Chu who arranged and made up to tease me."
"What's up?"
Zhao Changqing laughed, "Brother Chu said that when Emperor Fengwu was in power, because the Dafeng Dynasty had a good relationship with Du Ruoguo, Emperor Fengwu visited Du Ruoguo in person and accompanied by Du Ruoguo. There was a very good landscape view of the landscape. Emperor Fengwu was very happy and wanted to write inscriptions on that landscape. As a result, Du Ruoguo thought that Emperor Fengwu's calligraphy was too ugly and refused to let him come."
Mr. Su's heart moved and looked at Zhao Changqing's expression without any trace. Seeing that she was like a silly girl, she was not at all uncomfortable. Then he smiled and said, "I don't know if this interesting thing is true in unofficial history. But the flute is really a good flute, it's so good. How did Mr. Chu give you the flute?"
Zhao Changqing smiled, "Brother Chu said he gave me a birthday gift in advance."
"You always love playing the flute. If you give this flute to you, it's a sword to give to the hero."
Zhao Changqing smiled with a pursed lips. This was indeed the most desirable birthday gift she had ever received. He said, "Today, Brother Chu and I went out for a walk on the mountain, drank water and cooked tea in a spring. The water was very good. Even if I drank it raw, it was a bit sweet. I brought two jars of mountain spring water to make tea for my husband. This is the new tea that Brother Chu gave me. There are four cans in total, and I brought one for my husband."
Mr. Su was also very interested. He opened the tin can where the tea was stored and smelled it. He laughed, "This taste is good. There are good tea and water. I'll cook tea, let's try it together."
Zhao Changqing tasted the new tea from Mr. Su. The taste of Mr. Su was really better than Chu Yu's method of making tea. After tasting the tea, he said a lot of things. It was not until dinner that Zhao Changqing stood up and said goodbye and went to Mrs. Zhao's house to eat.
The author has something to say: After reading the comments below, Shi Tou felt that everyone had really demonized Shi Tou. You really thought too much~~~~ It's true, is Shi Tou a monster? He really thought too much.
Good night~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
